A giant jackrabbit was in the garden yesterday morning. It leaped up onto the compost pile and over the fence. Such a large, strong, athletic and mobile adversary left me a bit stunned. I will be unable to prevent his returning whenever he wants. A quick garden tour didn’t find any munched plants so he might have been on Recon […]

The six packs I started with Miracle-Gro look much more healthy than if I had used fish emulsion. Not only are they dark green, bushy and sturdy, but the second set of leaves are serrated as if the plants were twice as old. They look like they are ready for transplanting already.

It appears we exist on a spinning rock, orbiting a burning ball of hydrogen, in a galaxy that is full of spinning rocks moving away from each other. We are merely one of many galaxies that are all moving away from each other. We don’t know how big the universe is, but the condensation of water molecules on any of […]

I found myself picking up a night crawler from the driveway and moving it to higher ground yesterday. I’ve always done this, even at the age of twelve. I used to get a coffee can and collect them from the sidewalks and roadways back when I was a suburbanite. I didn’t know much about their benefit to our planet, but […]
